The cx series are pretty good to start with since they offer some manual controls and some of them have focus dials which can be assigned to have other functions. Im not sure if you really need the gps too, but if you dong then i'd suggest looking into panny's tm300/tm700 stuff that records on sd cards, they also have a lot more manual control. One thing witth these sony cx and other consumer camcorders is that once you start getting used to using manual controls, the touch screen will have marks eventually, like after using it for a year or a half, depends.
